Tantalizing

It's been much too long
but the time is finally here
slowly peel off my clothes
catch a glance in the mirror

My body is trembling
in an-ti-ci-pa-tion
my senses alive
no more fab-ri-ca-tion

I slide into bed
and purrrr as I go
ready to be bad
glad no one will know

With a grin on my face
a moan passes my lips
long legs stretching out
wiggling my hips

MMmmm... the sensations
running across my tongue
I feel giddy and tingly
excited and young!

OH MY! Hit a spot
as sweet as can be
delicious and perfect
so smooth and tasty

I'm almost finished
what if my longings aren't quite fulfilled?
Good thing I brought myself TWO slices of Cheesecake
The other is in the fridge keeping nicely chilled.

Um, whaaaat? I'm not the only one who eats cheesecake in bed... am I???

Is It Nippy in Here or is it just Me?

Fall is Upon Us
time to bake bread
Oodles of Ideas
Runnin' thru jin's Head

Pumpkin Everywhere
Scones, Cookies, Cake
Am using it Constantly
Whenever I Bake

Chilly Outside
But not in My Kitchen
The Sweets I turn Out
Are Totally Bitchin'

Watch Me Weave Magick
Into Chocolates & Pies
You Really Won't
Believe Your Eyes

So take a walk outside
follow the Peaceful Dove
C'mere for some delicious pastry
and Show this jin some Luv

Classical Chocolate Celebration

A Wedding Display
set up by a jin
Bet the peeps couldn't wait
until after din-din


For the chocolate went as far
as the eye could see
plus it was created by moi
so you'll know it's tasty!


Silvers and Golds
shimmers and such
I hope they loved it
so very much!


A groom's cake slathered in
Belgian White Chocolate Mousse
could make the worst of enemies
jinmediately call a truce!


A triple tier flourless
chocolate cake?
Is it true? Could it be?
Why yes, love's at stake!


All this imported chocolate
could bring about world peace
Let's drop these cakes all o'er the world
Any fighting would surely cease!


Beneath that chocolate coated
silver painted bottom tier
lies a ton of cheesecake
for a bride and groom so dear.

A jin Never Gets Bored(Sometimes she gets tired though)

Ahhhh... the scent of summer
wafting thru the air
takes away the winter blues
erasing all despair
allowing a gentle breeze
to slowly caress my hair.

Step back into the kitchen
for chocolate calls my name
once you taste my wares
your life won't be the same
'Tis my magick touch
Volition's not to blame.

Birds are tweeting, ovens beeping
there's frosting on the floor
I steal a moment, can't help myself
jin sneaks back out the door
In truffles and sunshine I indulge
Perchance resulting in new blog lore.

Sweetie

If you'd be so kind
to help a jin out
If you wouldn't mind
then I won't pout.



Only need a bit o your time
to help me eat
Only somethin' really divine
a lovely tiny treat.



Have one or a few more
they're really small
Have another or even four
so I don't have to eat them all!

Fashionably Late Thanksgiving Wishes

Please,
do help yourself to a
Cheese & Organic Herb Scone
whilst I entertain you
with my latest

Chocolate and Raspberries
What do YOU think?

Mostly Hand-Piped Buttercream Deco
with a Silk Accent Here and There
Many peeps saw me deliver it
They all just stopped to stare!

Up three flights of stairs
the jin did have to trek
she still looked Fab whilst doing it
Altho the colour drained from her face & neck!

First Blush of Dawn

Been workin' all night
Need to set my mood right
What better way
To celebrate a new day

Clear the air with a bundle of Sage
To eradicate any jin rage
Two white chocolate cupcakes
The yummy ones that jin makes
Plus a really strong hot coffee
All for meeee!


A buttery splendor of Vanilla Icing
Moans of pleasure it surely will bring


Oh Look! It's all gone!
Savoured at Dawn.
I'd love some company tomorrow A.M.
Unless you'll be in the stages of REM.

So who'll hang out with a jin?

Woeful Wedding Warning

You each write out your perfect vows.
I'll make the show stopping cake.
Remember not to pose for your photos
with smiles that are fake.

Your wedding should be
full of happiness & fun!
But distant nasty relatives
can keep you on the run.

Trust me, keep it smaller
with peeps you hold dear
don't invite Uncle Hillbilly
he'll drink all your beer!

Rich Auntie Jezebel
had better not come.
She'll bring the new boy-toy
Mr. Studly But Dumb.

Maybe Second Cousin Junkie
won't be able to get a ride
for she's likely to go into convulsions
on the buffet cos her brain is fried.

Little Nephew Pickpocket
need I say any more?
He'll steal all your gifts
then weasel out the door.

Don't forget about your neighbors!
Mr. & Mrs. Swinger sure look neat.
They'll stay 'til the end o the night
hoping you'll share your honeymoon suite!

CommencementPomp, Circumstance & Cake!

Tis that time of the year again.
The hats & sheet cakes bore jen.

They're all the same only the names are changed.
I do so many I become deranged.

I close my eyes & the cake is done.
But e'er so often I get one that's fun!

This year it was a construction hat.
Check it out! Just look at that!

It's not yucky fondant either, it's vanilla buttercream!
Delicate white cake filled with a lemony dream.

I smoothed it by jin-hand then piped the decor.
Give me cake orders like this, more more more more!

Jewel Tones

Tones of Jewels

Who Wants to be my Friend?

Friends of the jin are a special lot
Lucky they are, abundant they are not
But e'er once in a while I give them a gift
Might be a big cake they can't even lift!

This cake went to my Great Auntie Em
from whom some of my talent surely does stem
For her 80th birthday a few years ago
She treated us all to dinner, don't you know



As always, she said "No gifts please!"
So I made her this cake to try & appease
I overdid it, we were only 8 for dining
We shared with the restaurant so they'd quit their whining.

Had to prove to them it didn't just look nice
That the flavours & textures were sure to entice
The most finicky of taste buds & connoisseurs too
Him; her; them; me; & best of all YOU.

My blogfriends are amazing I LOVE all you guys!
I want to shower you with cheesecakes & pies!
(Not literally, of course, for the pervs in this bunch
I meant not a shower, but merely some lunch!)

So here's a sweet toast *jin raises her glass*
(Immediately a fellow blogger tries to grab her ass!)
She giggles & spills the coffee on the floor
& runs with her Turtle Cheesecake right out the door.

Now if you want it, you'll have to catch me
If you don't, you can't have it for free!
I'll charge you double or even triple this time
That's just for dessert, the jin & half of this rhyme!

There's a Leprechaun in my cake!

I came upon
a Leprechaun
He said, "Ye want me Gold?"
"Hell YES!" says me.
He says, "Who told
ye where I be?"
I say, "Is it too bold
for me to take yer Gold?"
He says, "Ye take it from me
'n Blimey you'll see
if it's too bold
to be takin' me Gold!"

But then jin remembers how this wee Leprechaun acted & decides she'd best not fuck with him. She proceeds to set up her wedding cake & walks away briskly from the end of the rainbow.

Sweetness of Life

In this life full of turmoil & pain
I am pleasantly surprised again & again
When things get so bad that you can't continue
Suddenly you're surrounded by friends so true
Words that are spoken or commented or sent
Straighten my perspective that somehow got bent
I try to reciprocate the best I know how
But sometimes I just sit here and say, "Oh WOW!"

Gratuitous Cake Shot

The client brought in her drawing & specified what colours she wanted the cake decorated in.

This is how it turned out!

Being a woman in a small business is not easy. We are not treated equally no matter what the statistics tell you. Even with a shining credit record we were never given any business capital what-so-ever. Turned down time & time again for very small equipment loans...renovation loans...etc. Even after 5 years in business we were not allowed a delivery vehicle lease under my name, my partner's name or even a combo of the 2 of us. The dealership told us right out: "We need a man's signature. You need to get one of your husband's to come down & sign the lease." Well, yours truly wasn't married, so I had to go & ask my Dad. How pathetic is that?! 25 years old, in business for 5 years with an exceptional credit record & my Dad had to sign for a car lease which was a mere $350.00/month with no money down.

It hasn't become any easier at all throughout the years & come April we will be celebrating our 14th anniversary. We struggled, but hung in there just the same, and for that length of time we managed to get by. But it seems to be getting harder every day. Especially since my Dad was hospitalized on December 21st. I'm the only one in the family who has a drivers license so all of the chasing came crashing down on my shoulders. (Well, my Dad does have a son, a sister & a brother who have NOT lifted a finger to help him even though they are quite capable of doing so. Most of you know the story behind that one & if you don't, let me know & I'll direct you to it.)

Another Gratuitous Cake Shot

This design was inspired by a swatch of material.

My schedule has drastically changed, working all night long to keep up with the custom orders & wedding cakes (which I SO enjoy creating...it's like jin therapy! :-) while days are spent running errands, doctors appointments & hospital visits. My body has grown surprisingly comfortable with only 4-5 hours of sleep per 24-33 hours. Yet there still isn't enough time in the day for me to keep the shoppe open to the public as I had in the past. Two days every month were "Open House" days. December 23rd was the last date I was able to have an Open House. I had hoped things would be getting back to normal & I would be able to do one this Saturday for St. Patrick's Day, but... alas... it looks as if I may have to admit my Dad to the hospital again tomorrow (Monday).

Why am I telling you all this? I do have a point! It was basically to explain why I felt the need to add the new "Donation Button" in the right-hand column. I never really wanted to have advertisements plastered all over my blog & I was hoping for a couple dollars every now & again...maybe the equivalent of a newspaper, magazine or even a cup of coffee...I expected nothing grand & even felt a little guilty for putting it up there. Well, I already got my first 'donation' & that poem up there was inspired by the very hard-working individual who left me a much more than generous tip. I can't thank you enough!

Times are tough. I read so many blogs where you're going through health/money/marital problems, etc. I feel for every single one of you & am always wishing you the best. In fact, I'm going to leave you all with a charm...why? Because I can! Read it 3 times out loud while you think of wonderful things, like chocolate!

This is my jinCharm
To protect me from all harm
Please keep my blues at bay
for the rest of the day
I will be kind to whomever I can
Be it a lady, animal, child or man
In return I'll feel so happy
Instead of thinking my life is crappy.

Happy Double-Oh-Seven

My Name is miss jin, the Sweetcret Agent
Always on the lookout for Plants of Fresh Mint

If I can't find them...Wild Mushrooms will do
A Sweet 'lil Trip...for me & for you!

What more's in the Garden? Why, carrots, of course!
Now eat your veggies or I'll feed you by force!

Let's move on to flowers, agents have died oer these stems
They are more precious than Money or Gems!

Quick! Someone's coming! We'll hide in the oven!
(Heeheee... It's a ploy, tis how sexy agent jin gets her lovin'!)

Poisoned Fruit for crooked agents, they'll all be gone soon
In fact, I'll have solved the mystery, by tomorrow noon!

Time for more mushrooms so I can continue my tale
I MUST eat them ALL! I can't let them get stale!

I'm under surveillance! They caught me on tape!
I'll sneak out the back & quickly escape!

I think they've even bugged this chocolate cake!
That flower in the center is definitely FAKE!!!

I run to my stash of disguised lead filled scones
If I aim at their knees, these will break bones!

I've SAVED the world! This is the key!
The secrets are in the cream puff, you see.

With this safely in my hand, you can all sleep without fear.
Two-thousand six is over. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
